The lead track from the group's forthcoming album Ouseburn. 
Ouseburn (the single) celebrates the artistic diversity and energy of the area from which it gets its name. 
Heavily allusive, the track references everything from landmarks and graffiti tags, to local bands and cultural sites. 
We hope this track resonates as a fitting tribute to our creative and ever changing home.

Ouseburn

This city’s not sleeping, it’s dreaming.
Its silence long until the dawn.
Its river waits in slumber,
Worn and tired lumbers,
Flock to docks and to its old quarters,
Artists’ hearts tided on like the waters.

This city’s not dreaming, it’s believing.
A great city wakes in wonder, 
long hibernation over, 
Flock to docks and to its old quarters,
Artists’ hearts tided on like the waters.

This city’s not believing, now it's living.
A people proud in number,
Draw now to discover,
Flock to docks and to its old quarters,
Artists’ hearts tided on like the waters.

LYRICS
Hey! Are they throw-away the instances we save?
Or are we simply vain? Or is it artform all that we create?

I open up my composite identity to exponate the self that I'm holding internally. 
We network reality constantly striving for authenticity. 
Communication, modernity, the click of a button, swipe right you will see,
who I wanna be, who I wanna be.

Hey! Let's throw away inhibition and engage!
Or are we simply vain, obsessed with the artform we create?

Mi vida está compuesta por las partes que con filtros van formando mi identidad. Camuflamos realidad falsificando nuestra autenticidad. 
Si buscas modernidad pulsa el botón verás una versión de mí que te va a gustar, que te va a gustar.

My earrings show Frida Kahlo, 
is that kitsch? Well, I just don't know.
A palimpsest of text is my soul,
digital and so available.

Frida Kahlo!

Vultures the new single from Twist Helix release date 25/09/20

Label: Paul Back Music
Recorded at Blank Studios, Newcastle upon Tyne

LYRICS:
There's a man at the back he's standing getting ready to jump your bones.
There's a man all in black he's staring, won't rest 'til he takes you home.

He's a vulture.

Casual as he makes his offer of the life you dream about,
sell your soul as you put pen to paper, chews you up and spits you out.

He's a vulture.

Chews you up, spits you out, he's a vulture.

You followed him to the end of the trail but we know what that led you to.
We pick apart what we can if you fail, turn you 'round into something new.

We are vultures.

VULTURES

Lyrics

Here's a song for the North Sea, for all the things that divide you from me.
Good night, good night Little England, I promise you I won't weep.

Take a cruise to Amsterdam, float away island jetsam.
Time to say auf wiedersehen, I loved you once but how you've changed.

Good night, good night Little England and your foolish Kings and Queens.
Good night, good night Little England.

Sail away while we try withstand, Cnute again, kingdom of sand.
Ocean slumber bittersweet, wash away my broken dreams.

Good night, good night Little England and your foolish Kings and Queens.
Good night, good night Little England.

Ancient currents pull the sadness into land,
the long withdrawing roar of a stony wasteland.
History's Tempest tide breaks in weeping waves,
a full fathom five thy myth Britannia lies.
Good night, good night, good night Little England.
Good night, good night, good night. 

Here's a song for the North Sea, for all the things that divide you from me.

GOOD NIGHT LITTLE ENGLAND

CAMERA

Focus now, 
ignore the crowd,
button click down,
lens, flare, flash out.

My shutter, my camera,
reveals more than eyes can capture.
My shutter, my camera,
the Instamatic biographer.

Take a picture and it'll last longer,
take a picture to help you remember.

Close-up now,
see sweat drip brow,
light up the crowd,
lens, flare, flash out.

My shutter, my camera,
reveals more than eyes can capture.
My shutter, my camera,
the Instamatic biographer.

Take a picture and it'll last longer,
take a picture to help you remember.
